The average currentmode controller will maintain inductor current regulation over a wide output voltage range of 0V to (VIN – 2V). The regulated current is set by an analog voltage on the CTRL pins and an external sense resistor. Due to its unique topology, the LT3741 is capable of sourcing and sinking current. If sinking current is not required, or for parallel applications, use the LT3741-1. The regulated voltage and overvoltage protection are set with a voltage divider from the output to the FB pin. Soft-Start is provided to allow a gradual increase in the regulated current during startup. The switching frequency is programmable from 200kHz to 1MHz through an external resistor on the RT pin or through the use of the SYNC pin and an external clock signal. nn APPLICATIONS General Purpose Industrial Super-Cap Charging nn Applications Needing Extreme Short-Circuit Protection and/or Accurate Output Current Limit nn Constant Current or Constant Voltage Source nn nn Additional Features include an accurate external reference voltage for use with the CTRL pins, an accurate UVLO/EN pin that allows for programmable UVLO hysteresis, and thermal shutdown.

The EN/UVLO pin acts as an enable pin and turns on the internal current bias core and subregulators at 1.55V. The pin does not have any pull-up or pull-down, requiring a voltage bias for normal part operation. Full shutdown occurs at approximately 0.5V. VREF (Pin 2/Pin 5): Buffered 2V reference capable of 0.5mA drive. CTRL2 (Pin 3/Pin 6): Thermal control input used to reduce the regulated current level. GND (Pins 4,11,14, Exposed Pad Pin 21/Pins 2,7,16, Exposed Pad Pin 21): Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB CTRL1 (Pin 5/Pin 8): The CTRL1 pin sets the high level regulated output current and overcurrent. The maximum input voltage is internally clamped to 1.5V. The overcurrent set point is equal to the high level regulated current level set by the CTRL1 pin with an additional 23mV offset between the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins. SS (Pin 6/Pin 9): The Soft-Start Pin. Place an external capacitor to ground to limit the regulated current during start-up conditions. The soft-start pin has a 11µA charging current. This pin controls regulated output current determined by CTRL1. FB (Pin 7/Pin 10): Feedback Pin for Voltage Regulation and Overvoltage Protection. The feedback voltage is 1.21V. Overvoltage is also sensed through the FB pin. When the feedback voltage exceeds 1.5V, the overvoltage lockout prevents switching for 13μs to allow the inductor current to discharge. SENSE+ (Pin 8/Pin 11): SENSE+ is the inverting input of the average current mode loop error amplifier. This pin is connected to the external current sense resistor, RS . The voltage drop between SENSE+ and SENSE– referenced to the voltage drop across an internal resistor produces the input voltages to the current regulation loop. SENSE– (Pin 9/Pin 12): SENSE– is the non-inverting input of the average current mode loop error amplifier. The reference current, based on CTRL1 or CTRL2 flows out of the pin to the output side of the sense resistor, RS . VC (Pin 10/Pin 13): VC provides the necessary comp ensation for the average current loop stability. Typical compensation values are 20k to 50k for the resistor and 2nF to 5nF for the capacitor. RT (Pin 12/Pin 14): A resistor to ground sets the switching frequency between 200kHz and 1MHz. When using the SYNC function, set the frequency to be 20% lower than the SYNC pulse frequency. This pin is current limited to 60µA. Do not leave this pin open. SYNC (Pin 13/Pin 15): Frequency Synchronization Pin. This pin allows the switching frequency to be synchronized to an external clock. The RT resistor should be chosen to operate the internal clock at 20% slower than the SYNC pulse frequency. This pin should be grounded when not in use. When laying out board, avoid noise coupling to or from SYNC trace. HG (Pin 15/Pin 17): HG is the top-FET gate drive signal that controls the state of the high-side external power FET. The driver pull-up impedance is 2.3Ω and pull-down impedance is 1.3Ω. SW (Pin 16/Pin 18): The SW pin is used internally as the lower-rail for the floating high-side driver. Externally, this node connects the two power-FETs and the inductor. CBOOT (Pin 17/Pin 19): The CBOOT pin provides a floating 5V regulated supply for the high-side FET driver. An external Schottky diode is required from the VCC_INT pin to the CBOOT pin to charge the CBOOT capacitor when the switch-pin is near ground. LG (Pin 18/Pin 20): LG is the bottom-FET gate drive signal that controls the state of the low-side external power-FET. The driver pull-up impedance is 2.3Ω and pull-down impedance is 1.0Ω. VCC_INT (Pin 19/Pin 1): A regulated 5V output for charging the CBOOT capacitor. VCC_INT also provides the power for the digital and switching subcircuits. Below 6V VIN, tie this pin to the rail. VCC_INT is current limited to 50mA. Shutdown operation disables the output voltage drive. VIN (Pin 20/Pin 3): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed with a 4.7μF low-ESR capacitor to ground. 37411ff For more information www.linear.com/LT3741 9 LT3741/LT3741-1 BLOCK DIAGRAM (QFN Package) VIN VIN 402k 1 INTERNAL REGULATOR AND UVLO 133k 100nF SYNC 2 13 12 VREF 2V REFERENCE SYNC OSCILLATOR RT 82.5k – R + S Q PWM COMPARATOR LOW SIDE DRIVER 11µA gm AMP gm = 475µA/V RO = 3.5M IOUT = 40µA 3k + CTRL1 CURRENT MIRROR + + – 3 10 SENSE– CTRL2 VC 47µF 19 VIN 10µF 0.1µF 2.4µH 8 RS 5mΩ VOUT 150µF ×2 9 40.2k 7 10k SS 90k VOLTAGE REGULATOR AMP gm = 850µA/V + 100nF 6 SENSE+ FB – CTRL BUFFER VCC_INT 1µF HIGH SIDE CBOOT DRIVER 17 HG 15 SW SYNCRONOUS 16 CONTROLLER LG 18 – 1.5V 5 20 EN/UVLO 1.21V 40.2k 5.6µF 3741 F01 Figure 1.

Block Diagram, LT3741-1 37411ff For more information www.linear.com/LT3741 11 LT3741/LT3741-1 OPERATION The LT3741 utilizes fixed-frequency, average current mode control to accurately regulate the inductor current, independently from the output voltage. This is an ideal solution for applications requiring a regulated current source. The control loop will regulate the current in the inductor at an accuracy of ±6%. Once the output has reached the regulation voltage determined by the resistor divider from the output to the FB pin and ground, the inductor current will be reduced by the voltage regulation loop. In voltage regulation, the output voltage has an accuracy of ±1.5%. For additional operation information, refer to the Block Diagram in Figure 1. The current control loop has two reference inputs, determined by the voltage at the analog control pins, CTRL1 and CTRL2. The lower of the two analog voltages on CTRL1 and CTRL2 determines the regulated output current. The analog voltage at the CTRL1 pin is buffered and produces a reference voltage across an internal resistor. The internal buffer has a 1.5V clamp on the output, limiting the analog control range of the CTRL1 and CTRL2 pins from 0V to 1.5V – corresponding to a 0mV to 51mV range on the sense resistor, RS. The average current-mode control loop uses the internal reference voltage to regulate the inductor current, as a voltage drop across the external sense resistor, RS. A 2V reference voltage is provided on the VREF pin to allow the use of a resistor voltage divider to the CTRL1 and CTRL2 pins. The VREF pin can supply up to 500μA and is current limited to 1mA. The error amplifier for the average current-mode control loop has a common mode lockout that regulates the inductor current so that the error amplifier is never operated out of the common mode range. The common mode range is from 0V to 2V below the VIN supply rail. The overcurrent set point is equal to the regulated current level set by the CTRL1 pin with an additional 23mV offset between the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins. The overcurrent 12 is limited on a cycle-by-cycle basis; shutting switching down once the overcurrent level is reached. Overcurrent is not soft-started. The regulated output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output back to the FB pin. The reference at the FB pin is 1.21V. If the output voltage level is high enough to engage the voltage loop, the regulated inductor current will be reduced to support the load at the output. If the voltage at the FB pin reaches 1.5V (~25% higher than the regulation level), an internal overvoltage flag is set, shutting down switching for 13μs. The EN/UVLO pin functions as a precision shutdown pin. When the voltage at the EN/UVLO pin is lower than 1.55V, the internal reset flag is asserted and switching is terminated. Full shutdown occurs at approximately 0.5V with a quiescent current of less than 1μA in full shutdown. The EN/UVLO pin has 130mV of built-in hysteresis. In addition, a 5.5µA current source is connected to this pin that allows any amount of hysteresis to be added with a series resistor or resistor divider from VIN. During startup, the SS pin is held low until the internal reset goes low. Once reset goes low, the capacitor at the soft-start pin is charged with an 11μA current source. The internal buffers for the CTRL1 and CTRL2 signals are limited by the voltage at the soft-start pin, slowly ramping the regulated inductor current to the current determined by the voltage at the CTRL1 or CTRL2 pins. The thermal shutdown is set at 163°C with 8°C hysteresis. During thermal shutdown, all switching is terminated and the part is in reset (forcing the SS pin low). The switching frequency is determined by a resistor at the RT pin. The RT pin is also limited to 60µA, while not recommended, this limits the switching frequency to 2MHz when the RT pin is shorted to ground. The LT3741 may also be synchronized to an external clock through the use of the SYNC pin. 37411ff For more information www.linear.com/LT3741 LT3741/LT3741-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Programming Inductor Current Inductor Selection The analog voltage at the CTRL1 pin is buffered and produces a reference voltage, VCTRL, across an internal resistor. The regulated average inductor current is determined by: Size the inductor to have approximately 30% peak-to-peak ripple. The overcurrent set point is equal to the high level regulated current level set by the CTRL1 pin with an additional 23mV offset between the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins. The saturation current for the inductor should be at least 20% higher than the maximum regulated current. The following equation sizes the inductor for best performance: IO = VCTRL1 30 •RS where RS is the external sense resistor and IO is the average inductor current, which is equal to the output current. Figure 2 shows the maximum output current vs RS. The maximum power dissipation in the resistor will be: PRS = (0.05V )2 RS Table 1 contains several resistors values, the corresponding maximum current and power dissipation in the sense resistor.

RS Value Selection for Regulated Output Current Switching MOSFET Selection When selecting switching MOSFETs, the following parameters are critical in determining the best devices for a given application: total gate charge (QG), on-resistance 37411ff For more information www.linear.com/LT3741 13 LT3741/LT3741-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (RDS(ON)), gate to drain charge (QGD), gate-to-source charge (QGS), gate resistance (RG), breakdown voltages (maximum VGS and VDS) and drain current (maximum ID). The following guidelines provide information to make the selection process easier. where rT is a temperature-dependant term of the MOSFET’s on-resistance. Using 70°C as the maximum ambient operating temperature, rT is roughly equal to 1.3. RPD and RPU are the LT3741 high side gate driver output impedance, 1.3Ω and 2.3Ω respectively. Both of the switching MOSFETs need to have their maximum rated drain currents greater than the maximum inductor current. The following equation calculates the peak inductor current: A good approach to MOSFET sizing is to select a high side MOSFET, then select the low side MOSFET. The tradeoff between RDS(ON), QG, QGD and QGS for the high side MOSFET is shown in the following example. VO is equal to 4V. Comparing two N-channel MOSFETs, with a rated VDS of 40V and in the same package, but with 8× different RDS(ON) and 4.5× different QG and QGD: VIN • VO – VO2 IMAX =IO + 2 • fS •L • VIN where VIN is the input voltage, L is the inductance value, VO is the output voltage, IO is the regulated output current and fS is the switching frequency. During MOSFET selection, notice that the maximum drain current is temperature dependant. Most data sheets include a table or graph of the maximum rated drain current vs temperature. The maximum VDS should be selected to be higher than the maximum input supply voltage (including transient) for both MOSFETs. The signals driving the gates of the switching MOSFETs have a maximum voltage of 5V with respect to the source. During start-up and recovery conditions, the gate drive signals may be as low as 3V. To ensure that the LT3741 recovers properly, the maximum threshold should be less than 2V. For a robust design, select the maximum VGS greater than 7V. Power losses in the switching MOSFETs are related to the on-resistance, RDS(ON); the transitional loss related to the gate resistance, RG; gate-to-drain capacitance, QGD and gate-tosource capacitance, QGS. Power loss to the on-resistance is an Ohmic loss, I2 RDS(ON), and usually dominates for input voltages less than ~15V. Power losses to the gate capacitance dominate for voltages greater than ~12V. When operating at higher input voltages, efficiency can be optimized by selecting a high side MOSFET with higher RDS(ON) and lower CGD. The power loss in the high side MOSFET can be approximated by: PLOSS = (ohmic loss) + (transition loss) PLOSS ( VO ) •I O VIN 2 RDS(ON) • T M1: RDS(ON) = 2.3mΩ, QG = 45.5nC, QGS = 13.8nC, QGD = 14.4nC , RG = 1Ω M2: RDS(ON) = 18mΩ, QG = 10nC, QGS = 4.5nC, QGD = 3.1nC , RG = 3.5Ω Power loss for both MOSFETs is shown in Figure 4. Observe that while the RDS(ON) of M1 is eight times lower, the power loss at low input voltages is equal, but four times higher at high input voltages than the power loss for M2. Power loss within the low side MOSFET is almost entirely from the RDS(ON) of the FET. Select a low side FET with the lowest RDS(ON) while keeping the total gate charge QG to 30nC or less. Another power loss related to switching MOSFET selection is the power lost to driving the gates. The total gate charge, QG, must be charged and discharged each switching cycle. The power is lost to the internal LDO within the LT3741. The power lost to the charging of the gates is: PLOSS_LDO ≈ (VIN – 5V) • (QGLG + QGHG) • fS where QGLG is the low side gate charge and QGHG is the high side gate charge. Whenever possible, utilize a switching MOSFET that minimizes the total gate charge to limit the internal power dissipation of the LT3741. + VIN •IOUT • (QGD +QGS ) • ( 2 •RG +RPU +RPD ) • fS 5V ( 14 ) 37411ff For more information www.linear.com/LT3741 LT3741/LT3741-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 2.5 7 MOSFET POWER LOSS (W) MOSFET POWER LOSS (W) 6 5 TOTAL 4 TRANSITIONAL 3 2 1 0 2.0 1.5 TOTAL 1.0 TRANSITIONAL 0.5 OHMIC OHMIC 0 10 20 30 0 40 0 20 10 30 40 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 3741 F04a 3741 F04b Figure 4a.

A small 1µF ceramic capacitor should be placed near the VIN and ground pins of the LT3741 for optimal noise immunity. The input capacitor should have a ripple current rating equal to half of the maximum output current. It is recommended that several low ESR ceramic capacitors be used as the input capacitance. Use only type X5R or X7R capacitors as they maintain their capacitance over a wide range of operating voltages and temperatures. Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitors need to have very low ESR (equivalent series resistance) to reduce output ripple. A minimum of 20µF/A of load current should be used in most designs. The capacitors also need to be surge rated to the maximum output current. To achieve the lowest possible ESR, several low ESR capacitors should be used in parallel. Many applications benefit from the use of high density POSCAP capacitors, which are easily destroyed when exposed to overvoltage conditions. To prevent this, select POSCAP capacitors that have a voltage rating that is at least 50% higher than the regulated voltage CBOOT Capacitor Selection The CBOOT capacitor must be sized less than 220nF and more than 50nF to ensure proper operation of the LT3741. Use 220nF for high current switching MOSFETs with high gate charge. VCC_INT Capacitor Selection The bypass capacitor for the VCC_INT pin should be larger than 5µF for stability and has no ESR requirement. It is recommended that the ESR be lower than 50mΩ to reduce noise within the LT3741. For driving MOSFETs with gate charges larger than 10nC, use 0.5µF/nC of total gate charge. Soft-Start Unlike conventional voltage regulators, the LT3741 utilizes the soft-start function to control the regulated inductor current. The charging current is 11µA and reduces the regulated current when the SS pin voltage is lower than CTRL1. 37411ff For more information www.linear.com/LT3741 15 LT3741/LT3741-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Current Regulation To adjust the regulated load current, an analog voltage is applied to the CTRL1 pin. Figure 5 shows the regulated voltage across the sense resistor for control voltages up to 2V. Figure 6 shows the CTRL1 voltage created by a voltage divider from VREF to ground. When sizing the resistor divider, please be aware that the VREF pin is current limited to 500µA. Above 1.5V, the control voltage has no effect on the regulated inductor current. leave this pin open under any condition. The RT pin is also current limited to 60µA.

Output Voltage Regulation and Overvoltage Protection Feedback Connections 1.2 1.0 FREQUENCY (MHz) The LT3741 uses the FB pin to regulate the output voltage and to provide a high speed overvoltage lockout to avoid high voltage conditions. The regulated output voltage is programmed using a resistor divider from the output and ground (Figure 7). When the output voltage exceeds 125% of the regulated voltage level (1.5V at the FB pin), the internal overvoltage flag is set, terminating switching. The regulated output voltage must be greater than 1.5V and is set by the equation: R2 R1 Programming Switching Frequency The LT3741 has an operational switching frequency range between 200kHz and 1MHz.

When the part has cooled to 155°C, the internal reset is cleared and soft-start is allowed to charge. VIN VIN LT3741 R2 EN/UVLO R1 Switching Frequency Synchronization 3741 F09 The nominal switching frequency of the LT3741 is determined by the resistor from the RT pin to ground and may be set from 200kHz to 1MHz. The internal oscillator may also be synchronized to an external clock through the SYNC pin. The external clock applied to the SYNC pin must have a logic low below 0.3V and a logic high higher than 1.25V. The input frequency must be 20% higher than the frequency determined by the resistor at the RT pin. Input signals outside of these specified parameters will cause erratic switching behavior and subharmonic oscillations. Synchronization is tested at 500kHz with a 200k RT resistor. Operation under other conditions is guaranteed by design. When synchronizing to an external clock, please be aware that there will be a fixed delay from the input clock edge to the edge of switch. The SYNC pin must be grounded if the synchronization to an external clock is not required. When SYNC is grounded, the switching frequency is determined by the resistor at the RT pin. Shutdown and UVLO The LT3741 has an internal UVLO that terminates switching, resets all synchronous logic, and discharges the soft-start capacitor for input voltages below 4.2V. The LT3741 also has a precision shutdown at 1.55V on the EN/UVLO pin. Partial shutdown occurs at 1.55V and full shutdown is guaranteed below 0.5V with <1µA IQ in the full shutdown state. Below 1.55V, an internal current source provides 5.5µA of pull-down current to allow for programmable UVLO hysteresis. The following equations determine the voltage divider resistors for programming the UVLO voltage and hysteresis as configured in Figure 9. R2 = VHYST VUVLO – 5.5µA 66µA R1= 1.55V •R2 VUVLO – 1.55V Figure 9. UVLO Configuration The EN/UVLO pin has an absolute maximum voltage of 6V. To accommodate the largest range of applications, there is an internal Zener diode that clamps this pin. For applications where the supply range is greater than 4:1, size R2 greater than 375k. Load Current Derating Using the CTRL2 Pin The LT3741 is designed specifically for driving high power loads. In high current applications, derating the maximum current based on operating temperature prevents damage to the load. In addition, many applications have thermal limitations that will require the regulated current to be reduced based on load and/or board temperature. To achieve this, the LT3741 uses the CTRL2 pin to reduce the effective regulated current in the load. While CTRL1 programs the regulated current in the load, CTRL2 can be configured to reduce this regulated current based on the analog voltage at the CTRL2 pin. The load/board temperature derating is programmed using a resistor divider with a temperature dependant resistance (Figure 10). When the board/load temperature rises, the CTRL2 voltage will decrease. To reduce the regulated current, the CTRL2 voltage must be lower than voltage at the CTRL1 pin. RV RV VREF R2 LT3741 RNTC RNTC RX RNTC RNTC RX CTRL2 R1 (OPTION A TO D) 3741 F10 A B C D Figure 10.

Figure 11 shows the average current mode control loop used in the LT3741, where the regulation current is programmed by a current source and a 3k resistor.

For most applications, a 4.7nF compensation capacitor is adequate and provides excellent phase margin with optimized bandwidth. Please refer to Table 6 for recommended compensation values. LOAD + the error amplifier will be the compensation resistor, RC. Use the following equation as a good starting point for compensation component sizing: 3741 F11 CC Figure 11. LT3741 Average Current Mode Control Scheme To design the compensation network, the maximum compensation resistor needs to be calculated. In current mode controllers, the ratio of the sensed inductor current ramp to the slope compensation ramp determines the stability of the current regulation loop above 50% duty cycle. In the same way, average current mode controllers require the slope of the error voltage to not exceed the PWM ramp slope during the switch off-time. Average current mode control is relatively immune to the switching noise associated with other types of control schemes. Placing the sense resistor as close as possible to the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins avoids noise issues. Due to sense resistor ESL (equivalent series inductance), a 10Ω resistor in series with the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins with a 33nF capacitor placed between the SENSE pins is recommended. Utilizing a good ground plane underneath the switching components will minimize interplane noise coupling. To dissipate the heat from the switching components, use a large area for the switching mode while keeping in mind that this negatively affects the radiated noise. Since the closed-loop gain at the switching frequency produces the error signal slope, the output impedance of Table 6.
